The co-chairs of the group, Ben Donahue and Murray Wallace will sign the “Memo of Understanding” between them and the national group this Saturday at the Colorado Secular Conference:

“Secularism is one of the most important and fundamental necessities of any government, and for years I have watched that being continuously and persistently eroded both at the federal and state level,” said co-chair Donahue. “Colorado is a keystone state when it comes to secular politics. It has long been a kind of Mecca for certain groups of Evangelical Christians such as Focus on the Family, with a history of attempting to insert their particular brand of theology into our politics.”

…

“Colorado, like many places, has a small but very vocal theocratic movement,” said chapter co-chair Wallace. “To ensure freedom for everyone, it’s imperative we do not allow religion to be imposed on our secular laws.”
